Simon Williams Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Good morning Britmodeller-land Here's another one that's taken the edge off my enforced leisure time. I bought this kit at the Tyneside show from models4sale at the knock-down price of £75. All OOB, no corrections, as I definitely can't afford the Zactomodels correction sets. . Painted in a mixture of Tamiya, Lifecolor and Vallejo paints, with a very dilute Humbrol wash to bring out the panel lines and grubby it up a bit. Trumpeter 1/32 Su-27 Flanker by simon_rw, on Flickr Nosewheel went a bit skew-whiff and I can't do a great deal about that as it's all epoxied together (I didn't think superglue would hold the weight of the model). Top view by simon_rw, on Flickr Decals were the ones that came with the kit. Engine view by simon_rw, on Flickr Engine heat staining was painted with a base of Tamiya gun metal, followed by tinting the paint with clear blue and clear orange. It doesn't really show up very well in the iPad pictures. I could have painted those access hatches a bit better. Thanks for looking 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spruecutter Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 A very nice result, Simon. I like the way you have achieved the tonal variations in the camo colours. A 1/32nd Flanker must be a fair sized beast on your shelf! Regards Richard C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Williams Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share Posted November 26, 2015 Thank you everyone. It was a bit of an epic building it and it's standing on a computer desk as that's the only flat surface i have that's big enough for it. It's bigger than my He 111 in the same scale.
